My whole life, I’ve had one role in my friends’ and family’s lives: being the person whose name they don’t want to pull out of the grab bag hat. I’m self-aware enough to know that I’m not particularly easy to shop for. Not only do I own a lot of stuff, but my job also makes picking something out for me… intimidating.
While you probably aren’t shopping for me—if you are, hey mom!—you might be finding yourself in a similar pickle while shopping for your most fashionable friend this holiday season. What do you get the person that always shows up to the family party in the best outfit, participates in every trend before it’s cool, and never is spotted in something that couldn’t go straight on Instagram? I’ll tell you.
These are all gifts that I personally would be thrilled to see under the tree this year, and that I promise all of your fashionable friends will love, too. Trust me: For once, she won’t be using that gift receipt.
